While we’ll be nearly 3,000 miles away as rookie Russell Wilson tries to lead red-hot Seattle to a road victory, that doesn’t mean we won’t be able to follow the action from here. Technology has helped bring us closer to games than ever before (it’s also helped players and coaches improve on the field).

From some cool mobile apps to the best people to follow on Twitter, we’ve got a few tech tips for Sunday’s big game.

Social Media

There are already a couple interesting social media competitions going on for this particular game. NFL.com is putting on a “Social Showdown,” which tracks how many people are using a particular hashtag for each team: #GoHawks for Seattle, and #HTTR for Washington (Hail to the Redskins).

Plenty of reporters and bloggers from both sides will be on Twitter to give you live updates and analysis from Washington D.C. You can also search the #SEAvsWAS hashtag or #Seahawks and #Redskins to see what other people are saying about the game.

Here are the people to follow, grouped by team. To see some of them in a running stream, check out the Seahawks SportStream.
